'boring' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'hospital doctor beset by signs of indecision' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'hospital' could be 'h' and 'h' is found within the answer.
'doctor' could be 'md' ('MD' can be a synonym of 'doctor') and 'md' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
